Two weeks ago, I wrote for Unz.com an article entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars.” It sought to make several points concerning the consequences of Jewish political power vis-à-vis some aspects of U.S. foreign policy. It noted that some individual American Jews and organizations with close ties to Israel, whom I named and identified,... Read More

One of the more curious bits of invective hurled at presidential candidate Donald Trump was the claim that he is an anti-Semite. The allegation is particularly odd as Trump worked comfortably for decades in the heavily Jewish New York real estate world, his daughter Ivanka, whom he is very close to, has converted to Judaism...

Virgin Atlantic has changed the name of an in-flight meal after social media backlash from pro-Israel supporters.
The dish – a mix of Maftoul and other couscous, tomatoes and cucumber seasoned with parsley, mint and lemon vinaigrette – was formerly called “Palestinian couscous salad” on t...

I don’t see Lorde as a bigtime BDS advocate by any means. She just responded to those who are (BDS people) with her cancellation. Mr. Fine should worry about other things. Like the purchasing of assault weapons by the mentally ill (in Fla).
Hear Hear - Mr. Fine is bad man - he works for Israel...

You will never defeat Israel because it has been brought about in the providence of God in readiness for the 2nd coming of Christ.
Jesus said "live by the sword - die by the sword" and "blessed are the peace makers." Jesus changed the view of God - He gave us God 2.0 - a hopeful forgiving God.

but I did answer it to try to humor youBig of you, but you needn't bother.
Why make a mountain out of an OT molehill? Why not take your moaning off to VT? By pursuing this, it is *you* causing a distraction. 'Ave a good one.

No, I'm not "freaking out". The author, and VT as a whole, is simply not credible. I didn't know why you dragged Building 7 into the discussion, but I did answer it to try to humor you. Go ahead and read the craziness at VT all you like.
The author's conclusion had little to do with the r...

Yeah, you don’t simply dismiss 1400 years of history with the wave of a wand. The city seems a prime candidate for some kind of demilitarized international status with joint sharing between the religions and ethnicities. A city-state like Monaco or Singapore or something.
Peace.

I agree with you on the external influence on our legislators, democrats and republicans alike. Yes, bills can be passed by the congress and can become laws, once signed by the President. A constitutional amendment is a different kind of bill which requires a super majority of both houses to pass...

I am a little disappointed that in the contentiousness concerning nuance and detail, there a constant attempt to mold disagreement with not agreeing to meet. It's very clear that both the Palestinians and the Jews met, more than once and submitted proposals.
Their was a failure to come to a...

Tour objection is duly noted.
If use the term Israel in modern terms is defacto acknowledging Israel as a state. Unless you are referring the state prior to its destruction. I was under the impression that nuance was an issue from your perspective. As such the use of the term, " from the...

It is not easy to repeal an amendment or to add one.
You are correct, in theory.
Here's an example of how things can be done. (Admittedly this is about changing a law, not a constitutional amendment.)
This is a "threefer" cuz it also shows that there is no fundamental diff between Democrats an...

The bishops should start by demanding that Israel release all the children they have in their jails.
Yes, Art. Yes!
No Way to Treat A Child is planning a special webinar for later this month on the issue of military detention of children by Israel, the McCollum bill, and action steps the c...
